Moon Over Mt. Ranier

Night shot of Mt. Rainier and Moon

This shot was taken a bit after 10 pm. It’s only bright because I made a long exposure. I was aiming to capture the moon over Port Townsend Bay but over did and got the mountain in the photo.

Moonrise over Port Townsend Bay

It’s been mostly cloudy again, but for a bit the clouds let the moon shine through as it rose over Port Townsend Bay. The distant lights are the Naval Station on Indian Island.

Port Townsend Bay Tidepools

Low tide on Port Townsend Bay from Larry Scott Trail

I realize that I get stuck in ruts, like the one of taking low tide pictures. This was shot near the bench just past the 1/2 mile marker on Larry Scott Trail. The trail is particularly lovely now with an exuberance of wildflowers blooming around it.

After a stormy weekend, the Strait of Juan de Fuca was rougher than normal, even though the skies had turned mostly clear.

Point Wilson Reflection

You’re not seeing a pond or lake in front of the lighthouse. That’s a puddle of over-spray from waves topping the breakwater at Point Wilson Lighthouse. I spent some time trying to catch a dramatic shot of the spray and didn’t get anything I liked. Then I turned around and saw this. The shot was taken about 15 minutes after sunset.

Not much to say about this. I just love fog.
